Actually, I do. But not unilaterally or mostly unilaterally as in Iraq. Liberating populations is something that smacks too closely of colonialism, which has a bad name these days.

My goodness, would you not make sure that ...

1. the reasons for the military action are stated truthfully to the nation?
2. that the nation has had a chance to have a debate about and express its support for the TRUE reasons of the military action?
3. that the nation understands the implications, accepts the risks, and even the possibility/consequences of failure?
4. that the planning is properly done, the cost stated (lives and treasure) and it is funded correctly?
5. that the majority of our allies are by our side and not at least openly opposing the military action?

Elroy seems to want to cut to the chase, but it's not quite that simple, is it? I contend that Americans would NOT support the mission in Iraq if the points above are addressed correctly, before it's too late.
